Understood, but that is expanded because it's the first use of
CXL in the make file. Here we have no ordering as across many
files and resulting modules.

"CXL: Core Compute Express Link support"

OK. Could add Support but then all code is supporting something,
so fine to leave it without.

"CXL: Port Support"

Not that informative, but I can't immediately think of better text.

With the suggestions above it would look more consistent I think.
